Do you have any pics of these toolboxes?  I'm intrigued, thanks :tu:

Sure!

These are the old boxes, which were moved into the cupboard shortly after this was taken:



This is the new one:



I suspect the overall capacity is quite similar, but I need the cupboard space freed up for camera gear and I'd like to be able to get to my tools more easily. It was a good price I got it for too, so the timing was right!

:dd:

Pics of said unpack :pok: :D

I'm sure that can be arranged, but not today it seems. I just got a text form the courier saying sorry - but we didn't receive the package, so its not coming today after all, lol.

So - not completely sure when it will be arriving at this moment in time!  :think:

Hopefully tomorrow :)

Very nice!  I have a small, cheap Harbor Freight toolchest, which is actually getting full, so this is very :drool: -worthy :)  Sorry you have to wait longer...

Tbh - I'm still sorting my computer out after the hard disk crash - so its probably just as well it isn't coming today!

The new toolbox isn't as big as the picture might suggest (which is a good thing as it wouldn't fit where I'm putting it really) so I'm hoping I can get everything I want in it. But I have to move some network equipment about and stuff - its complicated, lol.

Nice one.  PST SS CC are hard to find in any condition, so NIB is extra good  :tu:

Tadaaaa.



Initial impressions are that this was cheap for a reason :D Terrible build quality and I did expect it to be a bit more solid though.

It will be interesting to see what the weight of my multi tools does to it  >:D

Very nice Dave, the Mrs and I were just talking about something like that, we saw a tv show that had one and she said "hey you could use something like that for your stuff!" But it was only one section, still I thought it was nice and would look cool on top of my dresser, I sure in hell wouldn't need anything that big, although I could probably use another section for under my workstation :think:

It's all relative I guess! These are the dimensions published by the eBay seller in case they are helpful:



The quality (particularly the lower roller cabinet) is NOT great. If I'd have paid the RRP / Amazon price for it I'd have sent it back tbh. I got it at about half the published price, so I'll give it a go. It'll do :)

I've got the bug!  :mail:

I just received a Gerber Clutch and a Leatherman PS4 in the mail. The PS4 is an old version with the torx screws (I see some 3D-printed scales in its future). I also just sent payment for an old-style Juice S2.

Regards,

They are selling these for £13 including delivery on amazon.co.uk, and I just happen to have a beaten up iPad Mini that I was looking for a case for. Its discontinued by CRKT so I guess it only works for the original Mini.

Should arrive on Tuesday so I'll let you know what it's like!

I've just ordered an edge pro apex with the stone flattening plate and small knife attachment.

 I need to hit the pound shops for some cheapo knives to practice with now.

Edit: Added an angle cube and drill stop collar as well

Sorry for the delay Eamo -  Leather Man is on holiday until next Tuesday but will be over to you on his return. He's emailing you a menu to choose from whatever that means, but either way he will be dressed as BieberBarbie fior you.

A replacement umbrella, as I've lost yet another one on the plane. That makes 4 now i think  >:(

And a Olight flashlight to replace my dead Leatherman S1

EDIT: And a new camera bag ready for my holiday in a couple of weeks time. Now to stop spending money!

I just ordered my first multitool / knife in years.

Vic Pioneer X. I'm intrigued by an alox knife with scissors. It will be used I'm sure :)

I just got the despatch and tracking email for my edge pro apex. I ordered it from the knives and tools UK site that also has a sister sites in Germany, France and the Netherlands. I'm guessing the Netherlands site is the parent one as everything is coming from Utrecht in the Netherlands. Now I get to watch it slowly move across here  :wait: :wait:

There's nothing worse than that wait is there?

I on the other hand, wait no more!


I think I'm going to enjoy these little beauties.
